Robo Beam (ロボビーム, Robobīmu) is R.O.B.'s neutral special move. The attack is a small pink laser that does a small amount of damage (normally 5%) and has decent stun capabilities. The shots can be angled up or down and reflect off of walls and floors. It should also be noted that this attack does not stop when it hits an opponent, allowing the player to hit multiple foes. R.O.B. must wait 1 second for the laser to recharge, or R.O.B. will shoot a weak, short-range laser. When the laser is charged, the red light on R.O.B.'s head will begin to flash. Kirby also has this property when he copies R.O.B. There are actually two levels of charge; if the beam is left alone for 20 seconds, it will become the Super Robo Beam. Super Robo Beam is much stronger and thicker and has increased range (enough to travel all the way across any stage), though it is significantly slower than a normal Robo Beam. If used at a very close range, the beam will do higher, flame type damage, starting at 9%.
In the Subspace Emissary, R.O.B. Blasters use a purple Robo Beam, although it is shorter and cannot be charged.
Customization
In Super Smash Bros. 4, Robo Beam has two custom variants - Piercing Robo Beam and Quickshot Robo Beam. Piercing Robo Beam has slightly longer startup, but an increased trajectory angle that allows R.O.B. to aim the move almost vertically, and deals less damage in favour of a piercing ability. Quickshot Robo Beam allows R.O.B. to fire at least a charged laser every time the move is used, meaning it cannot be uncharged, though it decreases the range of the move and increases the time to charge to a Super Robo Beam. Additionally, its startup is slightly longer and the laser loses its ability to bounce off of walls.

Origin
While the move is obviously unique to Brawl, the flashing red light on R.O.B.'s head when the Robo Beam is charged is a throwback to when the red light flashed to indicate that R.O.B. was ready for use with the NES.
Trivia
- When the beam is uncharged, R.O.B.'s arms will be down instead of facing straight forward.
